Holistic House
Mind-Body...Eastern-Western
If you 're a chronic pain survivor, or know
someone who is, then perhaps you've
discovered that living with chronic pain can
sometimes be an enormous burden to bear
both physically and psychologically...and for
some, the enormity permeates every aspect of
life - all day, every day. The cold, sometimes
harsh realities of chronic pain are such that if
solution and cure were that simple to establish
and secure...the notion then of chronic pain
would perhaps be a concept no more.
Fortunately, the emergence of
multidisciplinary approaches in the search for
relief...and wellness...is taking front and
center stage for many these days, and some
chronic pain survivors are jumping on the
bandwagon. The choices are plentiful and run
the gamut from conventional western
approaches such as medication, surgery,
biofeedback, injections, physical therapy,
etc., to eastern approaches such as
acupuncture, homeopathy, mind-body healing,
herbs, polarity work, etc.
These days, eastern approaches to healing are
becoming ever more mainstream and are viable
options for those chronic pain survivors
seeking pain relief and overall healing. Some
alternative approaches are being integrated
into conventional medicine and gaining
acceptance. Clinical trials are ongoing in an
effort to scientifically assess their viability.
There are many people with profound
allegiance to eastern health-care and its
efficacy. Just as strong perhaps, are those who
believe much of this is just nonsense and not
worth the time, money and effort invested
into it by those in pain seeking relief.
There are also some who believe all pain and
disease is a result of emotional pain and
unhealed psychic wounds...that is, that what
manifests in the body in the form of pain or
illness, is really the soul's way of crying out for
help...the body being just a vehicle for this.
The bottom line is, it's up to you to investigate
options whether in western or eastern
medicine, or both, and determine which
approaches might be avenues for you in your
quest for relief and better life quality.
